Hello everyone, some updates !

I have noticed that my sps becoming paled ...I checked no3 and po4 , and guess what...both of them hit 0 !
I have started with heavy feelings of my fish and corals.
also, I have checked PAR readings and I was shocked...at the bottom of the tank i got 250 , middle of the tank 400 to 500 , top of the tank its 800....so I decreased slowly the intesty of the ATI power module hybrid , after consulting with some pro reefers that using this fixture.

The respond of the corals , is very good ,especially this Mili (Pic taken with full lights on, middle of the schedule)

Pic of the new schedule :

also, I need to change T5 bulbs in my fixture (8 bulbs) .
right now it's:
6 blue plus
1 coral plus
1 purple plus

What is your recommendation ?

I hope that info will help to ATI users out there
